If it isn't obvious by now, I am a pessimist by nature!

I am rather scarred by all the bugs I've hit regarding ipv6 this year,
and there has been a recent flurry of ipv6 related fixes hitting the
netdev list for the 3.3 release, that don't seem critical, but as
we touch several areas of the kernel that are not well maintained
(encapsulation in particular) I will worry until after I see it work...

and keep working... for days. weeks. months!

when it comes to complex software...
I believe in comprehensive all-up testing, and very little else.
